We have just had the most amazing weekend stay at Emma's beautiful home in the Brecon Beacons. The house is absolutely incredible and gives everyone enough space to relax and also bring everyone together for meals and a few matches of table tennis! We absolutely loved our stay - the rooms are well decorated and equipped, it's clean, bright and airy and provides everything you need. It is also perfectly located for walking and cycling routes. The treats for our arrival were also very welcome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us.

The house and the surrounding area were amazing. We had a great time there with all the family and will definitely look at staying again in the future.

It's a beautiful house, just perfect for a group of 3-5 families. We were 14, including 6 kids and we just loved the place. The house is beautifully decorated, with many many things thoughtfully made available. The house is full of books, to cater to every taste. We lugged our board games all the way, just to find that Emma already has a huge set of options right there for us. Table Tennis, pool table, hammocks, trampoline, outdoor swings... We were really spoilt for choice. So much so that we stayed in much more than we initially intended to. The kitchen was a dream, very well stocked with every possible cooking utensil... We even saw a wok there

We have just returned from spending a fantastic weekend at Danyfan. The house is beautiful, it was so hard to choose which room we wanted as they were all so lovely! Emma had left a plate full of delicious brownies and a big loaf of bread which was great. We spent all the hours we could out in the garden, having mini games of american football and playing with the chicken who is very friendly. We think she thinks she's a dog!The house is easy to find and ideally located. We climbed Penyfan which was 10 mins drive away and explored the nearby town which was only a short drive away. Communication with Emma was great and she was there to welcome us shortly after our arrival. If you are looking for somewhere to stay in the Breacons, this is it. We would return in a heartbeat!

The pictures do not do this place justice. We were totally wowed! Everything from the fantastically equipped and spacious kitchen to the high quality linen sheets, to the pre-laid wood burning stove, to the huge child friendly garden recommends this house. It is perfect for a family stay or for a group of friends. We felt very lucky indeed to have found it.

The house was amazing and comfortably fit ten adults with room to spare. I arrived first out of our party and was spoilt for choice as to which bedroom and bathroom I wanted. We spent our time playing ping pong, pool and walking in the beacons. The bread and brownies that Emma left for us were lovely. Any questions I asked prior to arrival were answered very quickly and were helpful. The group are definitely considering booking again for next year.
